How would this law be pre-empted? Its on the same level of compliance as automotive emissions standards set by the State of California. If the new car you are selling doesn't meet the emissions requirement, it does not get sold here. Those have continually been observed and noted by the auto manufacturers. The federal government shouldn't interfere in this law.
What's the difference between this "new" system for evaporation prevention and the Liquid Solar Blankets sold in Pool Supply stores? This tech has been used for years!! Course this company has probably jacked up the pricing since this is supposedly "new" once again...
They may not care, but this is our opportunity to actually go on official government record in opposition to the DMCA. The government must at least acknowledge all evidence and testimony that is submitted at a hearing. It's a matter of it being on the government's record.
By this logic, you can't be convinced. You can't get more concrete data on the earth's temperature outside of the evidence you so quickly dismiss. I don't know, I'd say look at the rapid rise in the concentrations of Greenhouse gases as proof? If you want to wait until there is absolute statistical proof of these changes, it'll be to late to mitigate or reverse the trends. This is called a best guess based on the available data, even though you seem to reject that data as purely speculation.
A 20% reduction is nothing to laugh at. It sets a precedent for other nations to look at. The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere has already impacted the climate for the next generation or so, there's no way out of that. We can act now to minimize that impact and make sure it doesn't continue to accellerate.
Food production: right now we have excess food production in developed countries. They'll be fine. The places where you need to be concerned are in developing countries, especially in Africa. These countries will have severe climate fluxuations that will most likely decimate their agricultural systems. They lack the irrigation to give water supplies to crops in many areas, and there is realistically very little storage capacity or granaries to store crops year to year. That's where planning needs to start.
If it isn't profitable, it isn't going to happen. That's the maxim of government and environmentalism, with few exceptions. It doesn't matter what the motivation is for the government, just so long as they institute decent programs to follow through on this.
